Description of the problem	I purchased the 2015 kia sorento new in the year of 2014 from the kia dealership located in meridian, ms. Since the purchased... My goodness, i've had airbag system issues, electrical issues with my lights, the electronic outlets for device input, control panel on steering to make accessing the radio and phone; the buttons always jam with the slightest touch!! Last but definitely not least the motor has a recall as of today's date 09/2020. Plus the transmission jerks in gear and i'm told that that was because of the old motor defects.., but now that the motor has been replaced and the transmission is worse!! The fact i've been going to dealership expressing my issues and nothing is been done other than now being told, ma'am you're out of warranty! That i need to come out of pocket $2,200 for they're negligence. Sounds like it's time for me to retain an attorney!!!
